Overview

Turns ChatGPT messages ransom-note style. Inspired by Allison Parrish's 'Language models can only write ransom notes.'

Turns ChatGPT's replies into a stereotypical cut-from-magazines ransom note. Every few characters becomes its own paper cutout, glued down in a mismatched font, color, and angle. It's inspired by Allison Parrish's "Language models can only write ransom notes." (https://posts.decontextualize.com/language-models-ransom-notes/) Click the toolbar icon (or hit Cmd/Ctrl+B) to toggle it on and off. A popup lets you choose how the text gets cut up: • Per letter. Each cutout is one to three letters. • Per token. Each cutout is one token from ChatGPT's own tokenizer. • Token colored. Letters are cut one at a time, but every letter within a token shares a paper color. Everything happens locally in your browser. It only touches the text of responses on chatgpt.com, and never sends anything anywhere.
